Miami New Times:

Environmentalists Sue to Stop Port of Miami Deep Dredge Project
Faced with up to two years of underwater blasting that they say will forever scar Biscayne Bay, local environmentalists played their last card yesterday to stop the Port of Miami “Deep Dredge” project: They sued.
Now a judge will determine whether the Florida Department of Environmental Protection followed proper procedures to safeguard Biscayne Bay before approving the $150-250 million project.
“Once we inflict enormous environmental damage on the Bay, we can’t go back,” said Captain Dan Kipnis in a press release accompanying the lawsuit. “This could be a permanent setback to the Bay as we know it.”
Plaintiffs on the suit include Kipnis, The Tropical Audubon Society, and Biscayne Bay Waterkeepers. The trio of environmentalists first raised the threat of suing in September, when they appealed for more time to study the project and its possible effects on Biscayne Bay’s fragile ecology.
